The craziness that is TTC after stopping the pill. On this thread we have 100 day cycles, do weeks of opks and send ovia into a fit with our ever changing fertile windows! Welcome.

FX for you girls! You testing again tomorrow yeah Cookie?
Go on Yvonne try an OPK test or do a FRER in the morning
It's weird what your mind does to you. Basically spent all day thinking about babies and that I am pregnant and feel quite bloated today so was walking around with my hand on my tummy. weirdo alert. Thing is I'm sure I'm not but I'm over thinking it and the smallest thing is a symptom! Don't want to test unless I don't come on as it's a waste of a test and will put pressure on it!xx

Whatever you think Mrs! If you have loads it can't hurt to do one?! Would be interesting to see if you get a similar result to me! My AF is due either tomorrow or Weds. I think if my frer is negative tomorrow then I'm definitely out for this month xx

I have been drinking tea all afternoon I may test tomorrow????

What do you think AF is due? Xx

I used my opk when I got home from work earlier but hadn't been to the loo or been drinking water for a while, so urine was very strong! I don't know what to think! Neg frer and neg IC but a clear OPK positive! This is driving me bananas! You should try an OPK too Yvonne and see if it shows up anything?

Don't know whether to do the frer tomorrow or weds. I have one left but could always go buy another of needs be! Xx

It's so confusing Cookie!!! I don't think you can ever trust an IC I also read on another thread someone had a few days of positive OPKs and then got a BFP on a FRER a few days later I think you should do your FRER in the morning! FX for you xxx

I'm so tempted to use an OPK now I have loads in the draw did you test with FMU? I just know I'm going to be so gutted if it's BFN tho

Glad you had reassuring news about your lump Chapman. You'll be relieved! Did you decide to do a frer?

Thanks Yvonne, it definitely is a roller coaster! You sound much more patient than me. I'm turning into crazy, obsessive lady. FX for your BFP on Thursday!

Well Ive just done an OPK just to see if anything is happening and it came up totally positive straight away. IC test at same time is bfn! I know OPKs can detect pregnancy but equally I know they show a surge before AF. Don't know whether to feel hopeful, but just now I'm just a bit 'blah' and resigned to the fact AF will probably show either tomorrow or weds xx

Sorry everyone is feeling down today it's such a roller coaster isn't it!? My week will go one way or the other either a BFP or the arrival of AF on Thurs xx

I don't think it's willpower Cookie it's more being terrified of it being a BFN and being gutted!! Good news that AF hasn't arrived yet so you still have a chance FX!

Glad you had a nice birthday Chapman and got the all clear for the lump

cn i am sure mine appeared when i had loads of oestrogen around when i was ovulating

first sam such a relief couldnt be bothered going through all of that malarkey when TTC. it was only about 2cm the consultant said if it starts to get any bigger or it starts to bother me il go back to get it re assessed.

ohh bit to early to test, ive got a FRER in my draw at work really tempting nto to try it! x

cn really pleased it was benign. I have my appointment on thursday.
How big was yours?

8dpo today (probably). No symptoms at all!

Afternoon girls!:)
how was everyones weekend? my birthday was yesterday cookie! i had a lovely day my dad took me out for a meal!
i went to the hospital this morning to have my boob looked at and it was just a benyn lump nothing to worry about but they said if it gets bigger to go back and have it re assessed.
so anyway i tested this morning on them cheapies and it was bfn - i really dont know whether i ovulated on the 31st or whether im meant to ovulate now but ive been checking my ewcm and there is nothing it is so dry so im just waiting in hope for this saturday as im meant to be due on then!
fed up girls!! xxx

Hi everyone, how are we all?

Sorry to hear about your bfn's! Fx for next cycle. I haven't really been on here much, trying not to obsess too much plus seeing as I've had no period yet I don't know what's happening!

I was sure whether to do a test at some point this week as its been 2 weeks since I had loads of EWCM and I've had sore boobs and slight cramping this last week!

Hopefully get blood test results this week too xx

I tested today. Not sure why, I knew deep down it would be negative. Sorry you got one too cookie. Day 35 since that first post-mc period and no symptoms of anything at all. It's all a little soul destroying.

To top it off we are now entering week 3 of DH's manflu which means even if I do randomly ovulate there will be no chance of anything happening!

Hi Cookie, sorry about your BFN.. you're not out until AF is here so still keeping FXd!

I think he does have worse mood swings yeah! All ok today and yesterday afternoon. Ovia telling me my period is due today even though the app says Thursday?! Confusing much?! Also telling me to test as i've not got my period. Crampy, gassy, achy boobs, hot face, bloated, wet CM....it's a joy to be a woman!

How's everyone else doing?xx

Morning girls,

Symptoms sound promising Yvonne! You have such good willpower waiting until after AF is due. How are you feeling today lovely?

Poin, sorry to hear you DH has been a bit of a pain. Sometimes I think men can have worse mood swings than us ladies!

Bfn for me on a frer this morning. Feeling quite low but at least I've prepared myself for AF potentially arriving! CD 33 and ovia is telling me to take a test tomorrow. Might wait until weds and take another frer is no AF! Xx

Ah that could well be the case Lawyered. How long have you been off the pill? Have you tried any suppliments at all to try and regulate?xx

So latest for me - I've been having some bleeding after bd (seeing gynae to check it is nothing other than hormonal after stopping the mini pill), had a mammoth period that lasted nearly 2 weeks and then started up with the Clear blue opks again this week. Flashing smiley yesterday and a solid smiley today even though my period only stopped a couple of days ago! What is going on?? Also have no ewcm so really think my body must be messed up after the pill...

Thanks for the the tip :)x

Thanks Yvonne. Was OK as text day went on! CM now a bit watery so not sure what's going on! Will find out by Friday!!
Fair enough Shankate but maybe try an do before and after the apps predicted fertile period. I know you say it was right last month but my app said my fertile period ended 4 days after my positive OPK and after they had turned negative. I only got some to see if I was actually ovulating so they are stuffed in the bra drawer at the back and the used ones get put in the bin. You could wrap them in a panty liner package to hide them if you don't want the family seeing xx

Hey girls
Don't wanna use opks cause can get to addictive and don't want Any1 knowing I'm trying as I live at home with everyone ?
But was on time last month so FX it works?
Iv dhd a few times this week cause fertile window open so hopefully :)

I'm not convinced Poin feel like AF is lurking but keeping my FX anyway!!Sorry to hear you had a tearful start to the day hope felt better this afternoon xxx

Sorry have to read bit by bit as my phone freaks out if i try and scroll back so sorry for the multiple replies!!

Ooh exciting Yvonne, FX for you! Sound like good symptoms!

Cookie great news about the luteal phase! FX that means you'll be a bit more regulated now. Well done for holding out with the FRER - the IC need a higher amount of HCG don't they? FX for you.xx

Welcome Maple sorry about your MC hugs

Nothing really to report here Yvonne - quite gassy , a bit crampy, the odd boobs tingle but nothing too OTT, no visible CM, only when I wipe, needing a wee a bit but have been drinking more and am cold and find it always wee more when I'm cold!
Proper stroppy again today. OH got up at 11:30, got dressed and straight round to his parents house for football... was pretty p!ssed off and upset so sat and had a cry after he left... unfortunately that is quite a regular thing for me...have water on the brain so I wouldn't assign to anything else... I don't cope well with stresses and so cry.. if its sad i cry, if its happy i cry, even stories on the news have me welling up hahaha xx

Thanks for the welcome ladies and good luck to all those waiting to test.

I've set myself the target of getting to April and waiting to see if my body decides to start working again post mc. If not I'll be going back to gp and asking for referral.
